Brooke believed there was a God—she believed He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross—but she didn’t want anything to do with Him. That’s because she’d been sexually abused for about a year when she was eight. So she turned to drugs, alcohol—anything to prove just how much she hated God.
In the midst of her rebellion against God, Brooke’s mom invited her to Revive Our Hearts’ True Woman '12 Conference. She didn’t want to go, but what teenage girl can turn down the offer of free shopping? So she agreed to come.
Brooke was disengaged—arms folded, ears closed—until Joni Eareckson Tada wheeled out on stage and sang “Amazing Grace” during the very last conference session. That’s when it hit her. Here was someone else who went through so much, and yet still believed that God loved her.
Instantly, Brooke responded, “God, I can’t do this anymore. I’m so empty. I have this heavy weight on me. I need You. Come save me!” She reached over for her mom’s booklet and wrote, “I once was blind, but now I see. I love you, Mom”
Even Brooke couldn’t resist God’s Holy Spirit . . . or His amazing grace! Watch her full story here.

The apostle Paul gives a warning to the danger facing weak-willed women. Mary Kassian looks to Scripture to explore seven characteristics of weak women. She'll show you how to say "no" to foolish behavior and "yes" to godly wisdom and strength in this message given at True Woman '14 in Indianapolis on October 10, 2014.

Nancy Leigh DeMoss (@nancydemoss), host of Revive Our Hearts, unpacked Psalm 107 the closing morning of the True Woman ’14 National Women’s Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 11, 2014. Her goal: to show women that freedom, fullness, and fruitfulness in Christ really is possible . . . for them!
It is for you, too, you know. If you’re lost or wandering, if you’re in some sort of a prison, if you’re sick or storm-tossed, this psalm is for you.
Nancy broke Psalm 107 down into four scenes:
1.) Trouble
2.) Cry
3.) Deliverance
4.) Thanks
If you’re in trouble, cry out to the Lord! Then, when He comes to your aid, give thanks to Him and share His deliverance with others! Click here to listen to Nancy’s entire teaching on this psalm.

God tells us to love our enemies. But what about loving and honoring a husband who chooses to walk away from his family, setting up residence in a prison of addiction? Seldom is there a faith with the tenacity that Joy displayed during her twenty-two years of praying, enduring tremendous trials and sorrow.
"I will honor my vow, no matter what," were words spoken by this young bride, believing in the promise of new life and vows spoken. The "no matter what" took this family on such a seemingly discouraging journey that even Christian family and friends believed restoration was impossible. Joy learned to place her complete hope in Christ alone, believing that God's mercy and grace is sufficient to reach even the darkest and most hardened heart - including her own.

Motherhood is under attack. Nearly one in five American women ends her childbearing years without having borne a child, compared with one in ten in 1970. In 2007, among Christians, 47% felt that the roles of marriage and motherhood should not be emphasized for women. And unfortunately, the church isn't talking about why motherhood matters, nor is it equipping young mothers to see their family as a mission field.
Erin Davis was a young Christian wife who had made the decision to not have children. She had multiple degrees, a great husband, a promising career -- she had it all -- at least according to cultural standards. But most days she felt anything but fulfilled. In Beyond Bath Time Erin shares her journey to the place of true fulfillment in responding to the call of motherhood. Women will be challenged, convicted, and wonderfully encouraged by Erin's honest and provocative look at motherhood and its divine call.

Do you ever get the idea that being a godly wife means you need to be a mousy doormat? Be as unnoticeable as a doorknob? Or have a personality transplant?
Fierce Women: The Power of a Soft Warrior, smashes that idea. No matter whether you're an extrovert or more introverted-Kimberly Wagner believes women are created to be a compelling force.
You may not see yourself as beautifully fierce or even slightly strong, but what if God has placed a powerful fierceness within you, within every woman? Kim admits her fierceness became a source of conflict in her marriage, but the relationship dynamic totally changed when she discovered her fierce strengths could be used to encourage and inspire her husband. She invites you to come alongside as she takes an honest look at a destructive relationship dynamic and casts a vision for the transformation God can bring to troubled marriages.

Christian parents have a responsibility to make sure their children know and love God's Word. But what if you struggle as a parent to read the Bible yourself. How can you pass a love for God's Word along to your children if you struggle with it yourself? That was Carrie Ward's story. Until God gave her a plan to help her develop a consistent time in the Word, right along with her children.
